What is Degree Certificate OCR?
The Degree Certificate OCR skill is a high-performance optical character recognition tool designed to automate the extraction of key academic data from physical and digital diplomas. Powered by the Sugon-Scnet API, this skill allows developers and AI agents to parse credentials seamlessly, pulling critical fields such as the recipient's name, conferred degree type, granting institution, and graduation date.
By integrating this capability into Openclaw Skills, developers can build robust automation pipelines for HR screening, background checks, and academic verification. The skill eliminates manual data entry bottlenecks by translating unstructured document images (including JPG, PNG, and PDF formats) into highly reliable, structured JSON data.
Degree Certificate OCR Use Cases
- Automated HR & Recruiting Verification: Instantly extract candidate diploma details to cross-reference and pre-populate background verification systems.
- Academic Credentialing: Help universities, evaluation agencies, and online platforms parse uploaded certificates to accelerate student onboarding and registration.
- Data Migration & Digitization: Bulk-process historical physical records of academic certificates into a structured, searchable digital database.
How Degree Certificate OCR Works
- Trigger: The user or AI agent initiates the skill by providing a local file path of a degree certificate (JPG, PNG, or PDF format) and designating the classification type as
DIPLOMA. - Authentication & Request: The skill retrieves the
SCNET_API_KEYcredentials from the environment variables and sends an authorized request to the Sugon-Scnet OCR endpoint. - OCR Processing: The Sugon-Scnet engine performs visual character recognition and parses the image layout to isolate key academic fields.
- Structured Output: The skill receives the raw response, formats it into clean JSON data (with detailed extraction parameters and confidence scores), and returns it to the calling agent or terminal.
Degree Certificate OCR Setup
Follow these steps to configure the Degree Certificate OCR capability within your Openclaw Skills workspace:
1. Request an API Key
- Visit the Scnet Official Website to register or log in.
- Create an API Key in the user dashboard. The key should follow the format
sc-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. - Copy the key for configuration.
2. Configure Environment Variables
Create or edit your local environment file at config/.env:
# Sugon-Scnet OCR API Configuration
SCNET_API_KEY=your_scnet_api_key_here
SCNET_API_BASE=https://api.scnet.cn/api/llm/v1
Security Note: Never paste API keys directly into agent chat sessions.
3. Install Dependencies
Install the necessary Python dependencies via pip:
pip install requests
4. Running the Tool
You can run the OCR skill directly from the CLI command line:
python .claude/skills/degree_certificate_ocr/scripts/main.py DIPLOMA /path/to/test.jpg
